This book contains the Proceedings of the Ninth International
Symposium on Pho- totrophic Prokaryotes (IXth ISPP) which was held
in Vienna, Austria, from September 6-12,1997. In 1973, the
far-sighted efforts of Gerhart Drews, Roger Y. Stanier, and Nor-
bert Pfennig launched the first ISPP as a joint forum for
scientific discussion of all aspects of research on phototrophic
prokaryotes, both anoxygenic and oxygenic (cyanobacteria or
blue-green algae). The ISPP International Scientific Committee, a
rather loose community of scientists (see page vii for a list of
current members), has since been responsible for the organization
of the ISPPs on a triennial basis, without any dedicated financial
support from a society, membership fees, or similar. The success of
the ISPPs is therefore due to the continued enthusiasm of the
scientific community for such a forum, as exemplified by the rise
in attendance from 79 (1 st ISPP) to more than 400 active
scientists (plus depen- dants) from all five continents in Vienna.
Comparing the Book of Abstracts of 1973 with that of 1997 reflects
the tremendous change that has occurred in the last 25 years in
scien- tific research on phototrophic prokaryotes. Two noteworthy
examples of such change are the significant shift in emphasis from
anoxyphototrophs to cyanobacteria and the advent of molecular
genetics, culminating at the 9th ISPP in the first complete genomic
DNA se- quence of a phototrophic prokaryote, viz. the
cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC6803.
